So sad to see grown men still wasting time that could be spent with their
own families and children swinging signs and yelling at women and medical
staff outside of clinics in the year 20-fucking-15 for no other reason than
a fear they have of an imaginary monster from the Bronze Age. *Sigh*. And
our government wants to bitch and whine about Sharia? Such a sad state of
affairs.
+AHA Raleigh K. As soon as your god-friend decides that my soul is worth the time it would take to actually save it from eternal suffering, I'll let you know. Maybe we can have a bible study together. Til then, Ave Satanas.
+Adelai Rickman That is very sad, but the bible says that the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, and that is you Adelai. I pray you repent and seek His forgiveness, for it is a fool who believes in their self and their best of works, for they are as filthy rags before Him. Repent, seek His forgiveness, and put your faith and trust in the only One who can save you.
+AHA Raleigh You can quote bible verses at me all day, but until you can prove that any of that dribble has even a toehold in reality, that ANY of the miraculous events the bible describes actually happened or that the god it speaks of actually exists, you're just spouting nonsense. I'm not going to call on the whole flying-spaghetti-monster bit, which has been done to death. (Although it still seems to hold up fairly well; I'm just sick of hearing it, myself.) Until you can prove that your god even exists and that the bible in its current condition is an accurate portrayal of that deity, you're basically telling me that if I don't accept your faith that the Boogeyman is gonna get me, and that's not actually that frightening. We don't have any good reason to think that life or anything like life continues on after death. We are our brains, short and simple. When our brains die and rot, we cease to be, for all time thereafter. That's it. What proof do you have---aside from the tall-tales of those with near-death experiences---that our consciousness continues after our brain goes offline? In any case, if I do some day find myself at the feet of an angry god and he does in fact reveal himself to be the god of the bible, I won't have any problem going to Hell because it will mean that I am as far removed from the bloody, hypocritical, maniacal beast as possible. Doesn't actually sound that bad to me.
+Adelai RickmanJesus came the first time to seek and save that which is lost. The next time He comes, it will be to judge the living and the dead. Like I said you can seek to justify yourself and your sin by declaring your truth over God's, but the truth is still the truth, and you shall stand before Him, and Jesus said in John 3 that you are condemned already, for you hate the Light. The wages of sin are death, and that is what you are facing, and when you stand before Him, it won't matter what your feelings or beliefs are. You will have to answer to the Holy, Righteous God who will judge you for your sin. I pray you repent and seek His forgiveness before that time, for if you don't, you shall surely die in your sin."For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,[c] wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving,[d] unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them."--Romans 1:18-32This passage accurately describes your heart, and I pray for your eternal soul, for you shall live forever, it's just a matter of where you will spend eternity. Unless you repent and put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, you shall surely spend eternity in hell, where the worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched, where there is eternal weeping and nashing of teeth. I pray you choose wisely, for your choices have eternal implications.
+AHA Raleigh Funny, you sound exactly like a Muslim I spoke with the other day. He's likewise sold on the everyone-is-born-a-member-of-my-religion,-they-just-deny-god's-presence-out-of-sinfulness bit. It's sad that you as a grown man can't see the problem with asserting that everyone already agrees with how right you are, they just don't want to admit it. Must make it that much simpler for you to cherry-pick your holy book and decide for the rest of the world how many of the 316 commandments are still relevant to humanity and which ones aren't. How easy it must be to force your opinions on everyone else by proclaiming yourself to be the voice of god. Why can't the big guy just speak for himself? Put an end to the confusion once and for all? Just has better things to do, I guess.
+Adelai RickmanI am a Christian who believes in the God of the Bible. Both the Bible and man have determined life, which begins at conception. Since you see your opinions and truths as superior to Gods and His word, there is really no point in arguing a fact that you cannot or will not see. You base your values upon your own opinions, and that is very humanistic of you. It gives you the right to determine what is right or wrong, good or bad, and that is very subjective. I pray you repent of your indignation of God and your value system which rests upon your flesh and its desires. You see, it doesn't matter one bit what you think or believe. It is what God says, for He is truth, and all the heavens and earth declare who He is and His glory. Sadly, you suppress the truth of God in your unrighteousness, to satisfy and substantiate that which you determine to be truth, and you determine to be right. Unfortunately, you do not have that right, because if you do, then it's just a matter of personal preference and opinion. Stop playing God, and seek His forgiveness, for His love and mercies for you are fresh and new every morning. Again, I shall call you to repent and seek His forgiveness. Place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ of the Bible ALONE, for it is only in that shall you find life.
+AHA Raleigh There are thousands of different specific versions of god(s). Most of the ones still in-use by humanity originated from the ancient Semitic religions that hybridized over time to form Judaism, which later spawned many spin-offs like Christianity and Islam. Within Christianity alone there are over 1,500 different individuals groups and denominations. And I still don't know for certain which you belong to, although I'm assuming you are not Catholic. (?)As for the murder thing, I don't believe you can murder anything other than a person and a fetus fails miserably on the test of personhood. But, even if we were to pass amendments giving personhood to fetuses that would do nothing to stop abortion. Being a legal person with a right to life does not mean that you are entitled to live no matter what the cost your life incurs on everyone else. No part of being a person would give the fetus the right to continue subsisting off of the woman carrying it, so I really don't even understand people like you who claim otherwise. Born children don't have a right to live regardless of any circumstance or outside factor, why should fetuses? You people need to get a real soapbox and quit crying over the death of creatures who are less human where it actually counts than the average cat.
There is only One God, and He is the God of the Bible. You seem to have some sort of knowledge about this as you blasphemed Him in your original post so easily. And yeah, I guess you are right, we don't know what kind of lives they would be living, so it's just best to murder them. You need to repent and seek forgiveness, for salvation is found in Jesus Christ ALONE, and until you do, you will continue to make excuses to justify the murder you condone.
+AHA Raleigh Which rendition of god did you have in mind? Want to make sure I get the right one. Also, you don't have the slightest idea what the "children's" lives would have been like. Considering that suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people in this country ages 15-24 (Close on the heels of homicide) I don't think you really have any right to claim that they would have enjoyed being here. The world's a damn mess. Kids are growing up to kill themselves and eachother by the bunch and barrel, and no, I don't think that allowing abortion has anything to do with it. You are putting your own biased words into the half-formed mouths of mute fetuses and embryos and pretending like you know what they would want just to guilt-trip others and push your own agenda. Instead of actually addressing real problems with society you're just encouraging your fellows to spawn children they don't want and humanity doesn't need just to replace the vast numbers being killed by themselves and their peers every year. No actual solutions, just prejudice and superstition. A sad thing it is, all the way around.
So sad that all of the children murdered by this woman at this place of baby murder will never have an opportunity to be swung on a swing or enjoy their families, simply because their parents decided it would be much easier and convenient to murder them. And even sadder Adelai is that you are so far from God that you seek to justify this atrocity by comparing it to something that has absolutely nothing to do with it. I pray you repent, seek God's forgiveness of your sin, and put your faith and trust in the ONLY One who can save you from your sin.
